BEDFORD MOTOR SERVICE LLC holds active federal broker authority (211590). Whether a surety bond is on file, the bond amount versus the $75,000 BMC-84 floor, and any authority revocations are shown in the broker-vetting section on this page — check them before you haul, since a bonded, active broker is the baseline signal you can expect to get paid.

Matched on equipment mix, fleet-size band, and home state.
This carrier's officer is shared with 4 other carriers — the same officer/phone/address running under multiple authorities is the strongest double-brokering tell.
